And, you're right. This wont really be feasible on a Kindle cause all those books will be in one convenient location and that shelf space will be used for something worthwhile! Like...bottles of bourbon, silly hats, and snacky-cakes.

Call me a contrarian, or a curmudgeon, or a stick-in-the-mud, but ehhh.... It's a nice video, but it glorifies the book as an object. I'm more interested in what the writer had to say than how the publisher printed it on paper and sold it.

Don't get me wrong; the video's very cool and all, but it's hardly a valid argument for why ebooks can never replace "real" books... " 'cause stop-motion videos wouldn't be nearly as cool??"

I could do a similar video with all the papers from my filing cabinets, but that wouldn't stop me from wishing they were all digitized and wishing I was using that space they were taking up for something much, much cooler.

It's a very nice video--but it's about the joy of books as art, as decorations, not about the joy of reading.

There are uses to shelves of books that ereaders can't do, including easy showing them to your friends so you can loan them one of your favorites. (Even where that's allowed for digital files--public domain, Baen library ebooks--there's no easy display for that.) And yes, there is "something about a book;" they're reassuringly solid. But they're no longer the easiest way to read stories, and movies about how great books look on shelves aren't going to change that.

The movie, after all, doesn't show anyone reading those books. It barely shows any words at all aside from the cover art.
